Francis Cook, woolcomber, unmarried, from England, accompanied by Philip De Veau and Raphael Roelandt, his acquaintenances, with Hester Mahieu, unmarried, from Canterbury in England, accompanied by Jennie Mahieu, her mother, and Jennie Mahieu, her sister.

The marriage between Henry and Eleanor was "without the pomp or ceremony that befitted their rank", partly because Eleanor's prior marriage to Louis VII of France had been annulled only two months previously.

The relationship between Eleanor and Henry was always stormy, and eventually disintegrated. After Eleanor encouraged her children to rebel against their father in 1173, Henry had her placed under house arrest, where she remained for 15 years.

Eleanor bore Henry six daughters, only three of whom are accounted for.

From European History: 1088-1228 by Elizabeth M. Sewell, p. 4-5:

┘Ci┘DPrevious to her marriage with Henry II. of England, Eleanor of Aquitaine had been the wife of Louis VII. of France, a man greatly inferior to herself in intellect, taste, and force of character, but earnestly pious, and of grave and decorous manners. The young southern princess fretted and struggled against the change from the homage and flattery of the poetical knights of her native court to the severity of principle and action exhibited by Louis, the pupil of the great Abbot Suger, and the disciple of the rigid Cistercian, St. Bernard. Yet for a time she yielded to the superior influences which surrounded her. When Bernard preached at Vezelai, rousing the nations of Europe to undertake a new crusade, Eleanor heard and was excited by his eloquence. Louis VII. undertook to conduct the holy war, and Eleanor accompanied him; but in Palestine she showed such levity of conduct in her intercourse with a crusading noble - the graceful and accomplished Raymond of Poitou - that Louis on his return home determined to obtain a divorce. The Abbot Suger remonstrated, pointing out the peril and scandal of such a step; but Louis was firm. His plea was one common in those days. He had, so he stated, discovered that Eleanor was related to him too nearly. The excuse was recognized by the Council of Beaugenci, and the marriage was pronounced null and void. Louis had only two daughters by Eleanor. Immediately after the divorce he married Alix of Champagne. Henry of Anjou at the same time eagerly wedded the discarded queen. In his eyes her large possessions far outweighed not only the objections arising from the stain resting on her reputation, but also those which would naturally suggest themselves from his own early attachment to Rosamond Clifford, who was already the mother of his two sons, William Longsword and Geoffrey.

The marriage record reads:
"Rychard Counnett, the sonne of John Counnett of Easte Budleye, was wedded unto Agnes Clarke, the daughter of John Clarke, senior, of Collyton, the 11j daye of February, 1578."

The nature of the marriage between William and Hattie is not fully documented. In the 1920 census, Hattie is living with the Dingman children in Cohoes, Albany, NY. Her last name is listed as Jallant and she is widowed. William is living with his mother, and is listed as being married. This indicates that either Hattie was using another name, or she has divorced William. However, the Warrensburg funeral records state that William's wife is Hattie Allen.

The three brothers, Ezekiel, Samuel, and Thomas were all young. They probably did not marry until on the eve of embarking for America; Ezekiel in 1630; Samuel and Thomas in 1635. This is inferred from the dates of the births of their children.
